[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 698132, member: 22610"] 1989, we have a very similar experience. In my 31 years as a driver, I've filed five times, and I've won every single one. There were only two that involved money, and I got the green check both times. As for some of the assertions that managers don't really care if there are grievances filed against them, well here's my little story on that subject. A few years ago, I had an issue arise where the company was violating a particular article of the contract, and when I complained to the manager, he just said that he didn't plan to do anything to remedy it. I explained that I would then have to file, and it would be very unpleasant for him, getting an a@@ chewing. He said, grievances don't bother me, nothing will happen to me if you file. I told those exact words to the union steward. We filed, and when it went to panel, the steward presented the information and quoted the center manager, word for word. The division manager asked for a couple minutes with the center manager outside. They took a break, and when they came back, the center manager apologized for his statements, saying that, indeed, grievances were significant, in that they demonstrated areas where the company was failing to meet their contractual obligations. He assured me that the problem was solved, and would never occur again. And, the center manager was true to his word, 100%. [/QUOTE]
